ABOUT THIS WINE
Château la Négly's 'La Falaise' is the estate's flagship red cuvée, named after the dramatic limestone cliffs of La Clape that overlook the Mediterranean Sea. Located in the Languedoc region, the estate has been managed by the Paux-Rosset family since 1992, with consulting from the renowned oenologist Claude Gros. The unique terroir of La Clape, characterized by clay-limestone soils, intense sunshine, and cooling maritime breezes, shapes this robust and expressive blend of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Carignan.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested by hand at optimal maturity. The Grenache, Carignan, and Mourvèdre are aged for 12 months in large wooden vats and concrete tanks to preserve their vibrant fruit character, while the Syrah is aged separately in 300-liter French oak barrels to add structure and complexity. The final blend is assembled before bottling.
